CHAPTER ONE
"Is everything okay?" My mom asked me, she must have realised I looked tired and cranky, I also had the vert prominent bags under my eyes. Screw the studying.
"Yea, I was studying up late. Mrs Cross, she gave me a twenty page essay! Can you believe that? Just because I didn’t go on a date with her son! He is a pathetic douche bag ." I almost yelled, I'm not violent, but my studies happen to be my priority, and just because of the lame reason Mrs Cross considered, I was shocked. That's so unfair! I should go tell Principal about this, but then again teachers are authorities too and she'd get her revenge on me eventually. Why always me? UNBELIEVABLE.
"Just don’t get in trouble. I want you to get good grades and I'll ship you off as soon as possible. Okay?" My mom loved me and would do anything to make me happy. I nodded cheerfully. Ever since dad left, both of us and my sister we've been alone. And, that wasn't hard at all. Just kidding, trying to boost my self confidence. It was very hard and hardships were the only thing known to us. Bills, medical and other. Everything was left undone and I had to do double-shifts. Mom was suffering lung-cancer which was not a small deal. Every minute and second we were expecting her death, me and my sister cried day and night. Miraculously she survived and I asked nothing more of life, just to see my mother happy; that was it.
Slowly but normally life started going smooth and now It's been a year, we are doing everything on our own.
Grand dad sends me money often, I'm his 'flower', I love him. My mom and he never got along, thats why he's too hesitant to come and stay but always passes by for a quick hug. My high-school is just 15 minutes drive away, Sarah aka my best friend always picks me up. It's now a routine, and as we know she's the bad girl! So I obviously don't get bullied or stuff, and ice cream icing on top of the cake? Her boyfriend is the 'bad boy player'. They both are my guardian angels, I couldn't ask for more. I didn't want boyfriends so I kept my distance and Beck warned everyone not to touch or ask me anything because I got too nervous whenever boys approached me, I ended up messing stuff and crying. As a werewolf, who doesn't shifts much, they will think I'm a disgrace for not liking to be a werewolf. That's why I go telling people I shifted, when I haven't for a year now. Beck and Sarah know this. They are mates, and they are head over heels in love. I envy them, but I'm afraid of my mate. I don't want to ruin things between us because of my shyness and immature attitude. 'Innocent Stuff' as they say, obviously because I don't even wear shorts. I think showing off skin is very embarrassing, I don't really like people looking at my skin. It's just creepy, their lustful eyes which roam over the body hungrily. I'm extremely reserved and except for Beck and Sarah, I just trust them
Hi, I'm Emmy Rose and I'm eighteen. My life was good, I lived with my mom and my sister Trina. We lived in a extremely friendly town where everyone happens to know everyone. Our school is not that big but a good place itself.I woke up today just to think that I'll have a normal day, I was going to dress up and meet Sarah for school.
I brushed my teeth and wore a simple black loose shirt with white skinnies and waited for Sarah to pick me up. I waited by my window because right after hearing her car's horn I'll rush down stairs. And as it horned. I rushed downstairs and got my daily mommy kiss on the cheeks. Hugged my beautiful sister and said goodbye to Grandpa who came by to visit.
I don't know why but he usually never does that, he just rushed in and God knows why he just decided to show up?
Well whatever, I jumped into Sarah's car. It went good with usual talk about her boyfriend Beck. But I was noticing something unusual. She just wasn't herself, and I thought I'll ask her that later.
Sarah was a darling, we've been best-friends since forever and we always stick together in bad times. She is also a wolf, but we obviously keep that to ourselves.
Sarah's POV.
The morning drive to the school was so hard, I couldn't keep the news to myself anymore and the outcome of it? How it's going to break Emmy? I was so worried. I decided to finally tell her at lunch. Beck and I sat there waiting for her to show up. We were sweating, scared and guilty as well.
We both sat there on the school lunch tables in the cafe and waited for Emmy for like a hour. Where was she? We were wondering about that, that she showed up. Her usual happy self.
''Sup? Guys?'' She asked, putting her bag on the table holding her tray.
We kinda ignored her at first but then we came to our confidence and decided to tell her. I gulped. This is going to be so hard. Breath SARAH! Its her right to know. Sarah? f*****g tell her. My wolf was angry with me.
''Emmy!?'' I said as the worry in my voice was obvious.
She looked shocked and gave us a weird expression. She had no idea how heartbreaking, this will be.
''Is something wrong..?'' she looked worried, she should be well.
Before she could finish Beck shouted ''yes!''
Emmy's POV.
I was so shocked and surprised over their behaviour and I had to ask but in the lunch they started to act super weird, and I asked them if something was wrong?
Sarah said, '' Emmy you know we have been friends since forever and Beck and I love you to bits! But, we are extremely sorry to tell you this but we are forced by our parents. And there is nothing I can do about it. And this might break you but we are joining Black-pyramid as in Alpha Ethan's pack.'' she finished looking at me sympathetically.
Tears rolled down my cheeks as she said that! All I could think about was why? Why with me?
I stood up and rushed to the guidance counsellor’s office so she could write me a pass and I could go home. Sarah and Beck broke me. They knew Alpha Ethan killed my brother and dad, they knew he was a heartless mean and cold hearted Alpha. They knew it all but it wasn't their fault was it? It was just written. And our plans of joining the same pack being best-friends forever were destroyed but oh well life needed to screw me.
I walked and walked and found myself someplace unfamiliar and I didn’t know where I was so I kept walking in some direction. I needed some time to clear off my mind so I didn’t wanted to go home, direct.The woods were getting deeper and it was dark. A thought hit me that maybe I am in some other pack's territory. And if that was the case I was officially a trespasser and the thought being a trespasser , a rogue to be honest didn’t sound good because they end up dying brutally. Just as all these unpleasant thoughts were taking over my mind. I heard a wolf growling at me from the back, he made the loudest one I could ever hear in my life.
My thoughts were messed. I was thinking about all those wrong things that could happen to me but at the same time I had to adore that light brown golden werewolf standing right in-front of me. His furiousness was adorable. I had to stop thinking about that, sometimes I just cant help being a girl. Frustrating much?
He looked at me I was pretty still. He walked back and forth and then shifted behind a tree. As he walked up to me and asked,
''Who are you? '' Anger could be felt through his voice.
As he walked closer I could feel him near me. I didn't eye-lock with him. I was fearfully scared, What if they take me to their Alpha and he declares me as a rogue? And kills me? These thoughts crept me and shivers ran through my spine. I was shaking violently.
''Look at me this instance!'' He growled at me.
Slowly I opened my squeezed shut eyes, and looked at him.
He had jet black hair, a strong jawline, green eyes and fair skin. Not to go in further details, he was furious yet handsome.
He examined me, thoroughly.
As we eye-locked, his face softened.
Something in me shouted with joy. My wolf of-course! She showed up.
'He's our mate'
'No'
'Shutup'
And then I blocked her, I couldn't hear her ultra stupid statements. But, oh boy. When he touched me as he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.
I flinched.
''Mine.'' He growled.
He's my mate. Noway. Who is he? Why is he?
I don't want a mate! I want my family and friends!
"Let me go, don't touch me please.'' I was so scared that my voice was shaky.
''You're mine and from now on I don't think that I'll be able to not touch you or stay away from you.'' He came closer as he said that.
And his mouth was inches away from mine.
''Im not yours.'' A slow whisper got out of my mouth.
He said, ''Oh we will see about that.'' giving me a smirk.
He held my arm so tight that I let out a cry.
''You're hurting me.'' As I said this his eyes were into mine. He said without wasting any time.
''Im so sorry, are you okay?'' As he nestled his head into my neck.
''Please let me go back to my family.'' I gave such a small and soft sound.
I could see pity in his eyes for me.
''Im your family, and I guess now you'll have to live with that.''He told me while he caressed my cheeks.
''No, you aren't! You are just kidnapping me and I don’t like it.'' I said this while crying. I cry a-lot, I cant hold it in.
''You're my mate now and I'm taking you to my pack and soon enough things will have to happen, and you need to prepare yourself for that.'' He told me and made the last part sound like a order.
My wolf was feeling under pressure but was overwhelmed to find her mate. She was so in love like in 8.02 seconds! It made me sick. I was so alone already. It hurt me. His voice felt like an Alpha's maybe he was one? He was demanding, ordering and there was dominance to his tone.
I was so tired, I could feel my legs getting numb. And I faint. Darkness took over and I fell.
If it was my home I would've just cried myself to sleep.
Ethan's POV.
As I was holding her arm tightly so she wouldn’t have tried to run because I knew she could, not that I am not powerful enough to stop her. But, I was scared I'd hurt her if she misbehaves. I have a short temper for disobedience. I could sense that she was way too weak for me but as soon as I saw her I was feeling so possessive about her. And that scared me because I didn’t wanted her to be with me unless she wants it back which until now she clearly didn’t, we don’t know each other's names even! But, she's mine and if I have to teach her to obey me I'll do that.
Then she fell, I didn't know why but I became worried and picked her in my arms as I saw that white face with black hair I was suddenly into her so much. I just wanted to mate with her already. I ran as fast as possible to my mansion with my her in my arms. I made it there pretty quick and told my beta Jackson to call the doctor! What was she doing in my territory? She did belonged to a pack. Why was she crying when I first saw her? Answers will be demanded.
''Jackson!!'' I shouted, and he appeared.
''Yes sir, is everything okay Alpha?" He approached and asked.
''No, call the doctor! The Luna is sick.'' My voice was soft and my heart softening? t
That never happens. Im strong and in control all times. I can't be tensed and cant be mushy and a softy. Noway.
''Wait, what? Alpha? You found your mate?'' he was looking confused as he asked me.
I couldn't help but smile, after a long time. I was supposed to have her when I turned 18! Now I'm 25, that I found her. I wanted to kill every pack in the world every rogue if I hadn’t't found her. I would've done anything to get her. Now she herself came to me.
'' Yes. I did. '' As I slowly whispered looking at her. I just wanted to kiss her and that's all.
Emmy's POV.
I woke up in a lavish room filled with expensive stuff. A king sized bed was what I was laying on! My head hurt like hell. All I wanted to do was run to my mom and sister. For some reason, the wolf inside of me loved that guy who kidnapped me and put me here. I didn't knew where I was and what awaited me, as I repeated the guy's words about things will happen and I'm his mate? That's where it all started making sense. He was my mate. I was always able to control my wolf and thanks to God that it really was under control. Or else I would've shifted because I never shift. Its been ages since I shifted because I wanted to be as normal as possible around humans.
As these thoughts kept running through my mind I was really scared. Scared to bits. I wanted to cry so loud.
A girl came down in the room.
''Luna, you're awake. Alpha Ethan wants you in his car right now.'' She said bowing down her head.
I was so angry at that he was ordering me but I had to keep in control. But at the same time it ringed, Alpha Ethan? Alpha freaking Ethan? Who killed my dad and brother? The guy who was my mate was my dad and brother 's murderer? My life was upside down.
I hated Alpha Ethan, I had only heard of him. Never saw him. I simply loathed him. And I finally met him. My wolf, now she knew who he was. Silence Katrina? Now love your mate as much as you want. Katrina's my Wolf.
''Firstly, I'm not your Luna. I'm sorry. And secondly I'm leaving so kindly tell your Alpha I won't come down.'' I said with breaks as I was catching my breath, everything was trying to process so fast that I had those sudden headaches.
''Alpha Ethan wont be happy to hear that, so I request Luna, you shall follow me.'' She said still bowing down her head a little scared. She must be scared about what the asshole Alpha will do.
''I wont, don’t you get it? I....''As I was about to finish a another girl came in.
She was different and seemed so cheerful.
''Hey,Hey,Hey. Look whose awake.'' She cheerfully shouted. I was so surprised to see her act this way with me.
''Im Nina, Ethan's sister. You must be his mate.'' She said while hugging me and I didn't respond to her hug. Wow now his sister, who looked nothing like him.
Looking demanding and appealing I asked.
''Look I have to go back and if your brother doesn't likes that, tell him I don't want to be here.''
''But you're his mate.'' She told me with a confused look, and shook her head.
''Im not his mate, and I don't wanna be his mate.'' I said softly.
Nina was a girl with long hair, a little tan and real good cheek bones.
'' Look, my brother can be a jerk at times but he really is a good person, you know?'' She said convincing me to give him a chance.
I was so surprised and where all this was going.
I just wanted to run away. I can't give him a chance. He's a monster. Across all the werewolves existing! Everyone knows the tales of his brutality and torture.
''Its clearly not about being a jerk even though he is one! Its about me not wanting him, in anyway.'' Just as I had finished I let out a sob.
''Aw please don't cry, Ethan wont hurt you. But he is the Alpha of Black-Pyramid's and I don’t think you should say No to him.'' Just as she finished now my eyes were itching and tears kept falling down my cheeks and I didn't know how to control my emotions. I Had all the reasons in the world to stay away from that bastard. And why? Is he going to beat me? Brutally torture me? As people say.
''I have to go, let me please.'' I pulled away from Nina and tried to run downstairs. As I hurriedly made my way through that 3 story lavish mansion I came out in the garden. What surprised me was there was no one in that house. No one. I easily can get out this stupid Black-Pyramid territory.
It was hunt time so maybe the wolves of the pack were busy hunting, I saw my chance and had to grab it quickly.
I took the chance and tried to run away as fast as possible.
Then a hard chest blocked my way and in no time someone held my hand and pushed me to a car and let all their weight on me, He was Ethan. The jerkface.
''Let me go please.'' A soft whisper let free of my mouth.
''You are mine.'' He whispered into my ear.
''Im not yours and I would die before I am yours, because I hate you, I hate you for killing my dad and brother.'' I shouted.
''Don't you think talking to me that way might cost you? Because even if I had killed your entire family and you had a real solid reason for me to let you go, I wouldn’t. I would never. And you aren’t getting a foot outside this house if I don’t want you to. I hope you get that or forcing is another way I love to do.'' He ordered me with a smirk.
He looked dangerous and scary. I said nothing as he squeezed my arm all the time as he dragged me back in the house. I wanted to say it hurts but I just couldn't. I hated his scent. I hated his touch. I hated myself for being touched by him. He belonged to a murderer family. He was a f*****g monster.
He practically dragged me back to his mansion, when we entered his house we went through all the wolves bowing down to him saying ''Alpha."
''Alpha.'' Everyone said for once. He was so angry and focused on squeezing my arm which now was bleeding surely because he wore two rings one each on both hands.
There stood his sister with a long haired skinny guy. He looked so much like Ethan and Nina. I figured if he was their brother.
Ethan dragged me to his room which happened to be so big.
''Here is where you are staying." He said with a angry voice. ''With me.'' He pushed me on the bed, and I landed on my back.
''And if you try escaping even once? I have chains I can use to chain you up with.'' He said convincingly and real sure of his words.
''You cant force me to be your mate if I don’t want to.'' Letting sobs after sobs out.
''YES, I can.'' He shouted to me.
''And Emmy? If you try to escape I can do more things. Much worse, much bad.'' He said and got on top of me pining my hands to both sides of my head.
''You won't like my bad side. I cant..control myself..around..you..'' He paused because I continuously struggling.
''For God’s sake, stop struggling. '' Ethan responded and his grip tightened.
A whimper left my mouth.
''Don't make me do something I might regret, please?'' He softly convinced me and he tucked my my hair strands out my face and behind my ears.
He got off as he kissed my forehead.
I cried so bad after he left. I looked around to the new place, I didn't belonged here. It wasn't home. I'd rather be chained up then not try to escape this hellhole. He really was scary, all the words described him well. He really was a monster.
''What are you doing?'' I gasped.
''Picking you up.'' He smirked.
''Yeah I know for what? to break rest of the bones?''I said sarcastically.
''I said I was sorry, you made me really angry.'' He said without looking at me.
Why is he so bipolar?
''Next time I make you angry just punch me in the face, okay? thats the plan right?'' I again said sarcastically.
He really was a perfectly carved person as the others told me like. He was what I imagined him.
''I would never hurt you again, I promise.'' He responded while taking me downstairs.
''You are hurting me right now, just let me lay somewhere.'' I whispered, and an ouch left my mouth.
''Okay, but just talk to me, would you?'' Ethan said to me and I remained silent to that.
''Okay then, lets play the silent game. I'll pretend I'm not hearing and I'll take you where ever I was going to anyway.'' Ethan fake smiled at me.
What am I? Helpless? Yes. Defenceless? Yes. Weak? Yes.
But that doesn't means he can do whatever he wants to do with me?
''I hate you. And I'll never stop doing that.'' I spat venom.
He growled and his grip tightened around my waist.
''Don’t talk to me like that'' He shouted.
He let me down and held my shoulders tight.
In no seconds I was pinned to a wall.
''See? It took you seconds to get angry." I said with that told ya expression on my face. I was nervous because his scary and dangerous face scared me.
He looked worried and admitting.
''Emmy. Listen carefully. Start treating me with respect or if my wolf takes over. Its not going to be pretty." As he explained that to me. I got scared and bit my lip to stop tears but they slipped anyway.
He picked me up and made his way to his room. I had my arms wrapped around him in surrender. He laid me down on his bed.
He sat beside me, he looked at me and my eyes were watery so he wiped my tear with his thumb.
''Do you need anything?'' He asked me while colliding our foreheads.
''My sister and mom.'' I started to sobbed.
''Okay. We'll go meet them tomorrow.'' He smiled at me.
''Really?'' I smiled, as I was shocked.
He WASN’T that bad. Or I thought at least, he really was nice to me.
But, still. The things he did. Still crept me but he was caring to me, he was a bipolar person but did hurt me.
''Wow.'' He said smiling to my face.
''What?'' I asked. Confused.
''You smiled.'' He responded, looking at me and lingered a kiss on my lips.
I went blank.
I went expression less.
The kiss was tender and soft. His lips were incredibly soft.
''Stop." I gasped and laid down. Tucking my face into the pillow.
''I wish, I could.'' He said, he was looking evil.
Ethan quickly laid beside me and put the sheets over us and turned off the lamps.
I didn’t wanted to be there beside him on his bed. So near! So close to him. I felt ashamed and embarrassed. I missed my family.
We just kissed. The jolts of joy, the tingles and shivers. His touch made me spark with happiness.
''What are you doing?'' I asked hesitatingly.
''Trying to lay beside you.'' While he covered my waist with his arm. Snuggling closer than ever.
''I know but why?'' I asked again.
''Your scent calms my wolf down and you're my mate you calm me down.'' His husky voice replied, he kissed my neck.
''Okay.'' I whispered.
I didn't wanted to fight him, I had enough for the day and I was truly tired.
